This Sergio Maffettone is unusual,
Fang xing is a star.
Knock on thin bones forward,
Jude has a brass tone.
This poem about horses is of good quality, but not good. Describing people and themselves by imitating things is a beautiful writing method of "using topics".
The first sentence comes straight to the point, telling the truth, affirming and emphasizing that the poem shows an exceptionally good horse. The sentence is straight, and there is really not much poetry.
At first glance, the second sentence "Fangxing is a local star" seems to repeat the meaning of the first sentence. "Fangxing" refers to a horse, which means that Fangxing is the star in the sky, which means that this horse is not a vulgar thing. If the meaning of this sentence is limited to this, it is almost exactly the same as the first sentence, then it is a mistake to repeat it. There are only four sentences in the poem. If the first sentence is plain and the second sentence is repeated, then half of the poem is plain and worthless. However, if you chew it carefully, you will find that the second sentence is unique, only deliberately obscure and tortuous. There is a passage in the Book of Jin Tian: "The four stars in the room, also known as Tianma, are the main drivers. Fang Xingming is the king. " It directly links "Gongxing" and "Wang", that is to say, the situation of horses is closely related to the light and shade of the king and the chaos control of the country. Since the quality of the horse is good or bad, it goes without saying that the king is nameless and ignores political affairs. This is a kind of "infiltration method", through twists and turns, its practical meaning far exceeds the literal meaning.
Write three or four sentences about the shape and quality of horses. If the first two sentences are mainly based on judgment and reasoning, lacking vivid images, then the last two sentences are just the opposite, vivid and expressive, and express their ideas completely with images and expressions. Li He writes poems and is good at capturing images. These two sentences are outstanding examples. The writing of "skinny" shows the situation of horses; "Copper tone" describes quality and reflects the quality of horses. The thin horse indicates that the situation is not good. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a tired ordinary horse. Only those who really love horses and are good at watching them will not regard them as ordinary horses. "Knock thin bones forward and bring your own copper sound." Although the situation is not good, it has been tossed, but there is still a copper sound. The word "copper tone" is rich and dignified, with a three-dimensional sense. It also contains many meanings: the music of copper shows the Excellence of musical instruments, vividly shows the strength and excellent quality of horses, and makes the inner things appear as audible, visible, sensible and knowable objects. "Quality" is abstract, and "sound" is elusive. It's all "empty" things. It's really not easy to write empty words. We should turn them into reality. The poet only used five words to do it, and the visualization technique can be said to have reached the level of perfection. What is particularly commendable is that poetry creates a profound artistic conception of the relationship between things and me through the description of horses. The poet's talent is unsatisfied and his situation is bleak, just like this thin horse. When he writes about horses, he just expresses his pent-up resentment gracefully.
